Vandalism

I AM SO PISSED! Ok, so I need some perspective from my fellow bloggers. Let me know if I am being totally irrational. I drove by our lot today because I just so happen to be in the neighborhood. I didn't expect to see much action because they just poured our basement walls on Friday. It turns out they put the waterproof wrap around the foundation. No one was there so I decided to take a closer look and take some pictures. As I was walking around the  house, I saw this:





It says: "David's Arm" and there's an arm print

I don't know who the hell "David M" and "Emily C" are but I know they are totally disrespectful! This is MY house! What gives them the right to permanently inscribe their names on the the foundation of MY HOUSE?!?!? I understand that I won't be able to see this once they put the walls up but I'm still annoyed. I wasn't even that mad at first until I called my husband to tell him. He never gets mad about anything. This pissed him off. I think his anger fueled my rage and now I'm really pissed. My husband decided to e-mail our sales rep and tell her that he wants it filled in. Just knowing it's there gets under his skin. Are we being totally ridiculous? What if these assholes come back and write their names in our driveway or our sidewalk?!?

Not to take away from our progress... here are some pics of the foundation with the waterproof wrapping.

I like how the inside of the walls have the brick shape too

PROGRESS!!!!

So we broke ground yesterday and they were supposed to pour our footers today. My husband and I drove out to the lot today so that I could get a picture of our hole. I couldn't get close enough yesterday because they were still digging when I stopped by. It turns out that they poured our footers yesterday and poured our basement walls today!!!!!! Does this mean they will start framing next week?!?! I AM SO EXCITED!!!

We also got to meet one of our neighbors. He was out doing yard work and walked over and asked if we were going to be his new neighbors. His name is Ryan and he is super nice! I didn't get to meet his wife. They also have a dog so maybe they can play sometime!

Here are some photos of our progress!

From in front of the garage, looking left. I think? Garage not pictured.

Our shadows are waving hello! We are facing the morning room. Oh, and my car is in the background!

Yes, I met my neighbor while wearing a shirt that says: "Talk Nerdy to Me"
